GET THE LOOK: A pompadour is often created by combing the sides of the hair back, while fanning the top of the hair forward and curling over itself. There are numerous ways to sculpt a pompadour. Some only curl the front few inches of their hair up, while others comb their hair back and use their hands to “push” it into its desired place. Occasionally hair is kept relatively short and cut into the desired look, and pompadours are created through standing the hair straight up, retaining a “spiked” quality. Variations on exact style vary from a straight front to a more rounded and organic look.
A few celebrities who have been spotted wearing the pompadour include Mary J. Blige, Fantasia Borrino, Sheree Whitfield, Chrisette Michele, and Rihanna.
